The weapon system has always been one of my favourite aspects. You can take something as basic as a gas pipe and turn it into a formidable bit of kit that can take down just about any foe in front of you. However, just because you can buff it up doesn’t necessarily mean you should. The game has a relatively deep crafting system, and you need to manage your resources wisely – especially if you hate yourself and choose nightmare difficulty.

This review of Dying Light: Platinum Edition is based on the Switch version, with a code provided by the game’s publisher. It’s available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. Now you can enjoy Dying Light to the fullest with the richest version of the acclaimed open world zombie survival game. Containing four DLCs and seventeen skin bundles, Dying Light: Platinum Edition brings together everything you need to explore all the post-apocalyptic world has to offer. Drive across Harran, as you spread carnage in your buggy, face and survive Bozak’s trials, explore new quarantine zones, and enjoy plenty of new skins and weapons! You can read our full review of the original version of Dying Light right here – our opinion hasn’t changed on it over the years. It’s a great game with only a couple of small issues that let it down. Being the Platinum Edition, however, this Switch release has much more to offer. There’s The Following, for example; a story expansion that takes Crane out of city. Not only does it provide a new countryside environment to explore, it even allows players to make use of a customisable dirt buggy. A zombie invasion is all about preparation work, so we are going to hammer up the following boards across the doorway before we bunker down. Firstly, what do we mean by a 'zombie game'? There was a lot of debate on this one, but we decided that we were only going to include games where the zombies are the focus. If we started banging every game with zombie-like creatures onto the list then we would be here for days and we couldn't, with good conscience, go saying that something like Minecraft is one of the best zombie titles on Switch now, could we?

Dying Light Platinum Edition Guides

Dying Light is yet another game that, years ago, I would have never believed would be playable on a handheld. Dying Light places you in the role of Kyle Crane, a member of an organization called the Global Relief Effort which is evidently aimed at curbing the issues that sprung out of the zombie pandemic. We start with Kyle performing a HALO jump into the city of Harran—which has been wholly overrun by zombies—in search of a man who’s believed to have files related to a potential cure for the infection. Of course, things don’t exactly go according to plan, and Kyle is almost immediately bitten, but he’s saved by a local coalition of survivors and soon joins their ranks as a ‘Scout’ who runs supplies around town. Dying Light may not feature a particularly memorable or gripping narrative, but the story still strikes the right tone and doesn’t much get in the way of the enjoyable gameplay. However, the game does have its weak points. From a narrative perspective, Dying Light has never been the strongest horror title out there, especially since it uses a horror trope that’s been done to death – zombies. There’s only so much you can do to make a zombie-based game original when it comes to the story. That’s not to say Dying Light has a totally weak narrative, just that chances are you’ve seen something similar before.

Well there you have it, our rundown of the very best zombie games on Switch. While the console might not be the first port of call for spending some time with the undead, there remain plenty of titles that you can enjoy nonetheless.

Overview

Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine Dying Light: Definitive Edition is the ultimate edition of the popular open-world zombie survival game, offering the complete experience of mastering your combat and parkour skills in an infected world. This edition includes the base game along with all four mainline DLCs and twenty-two bundles that offer a plethora of content, skins, weapons, and new quarantine zones to explore. Experience the thrill of driving across Harran in your customizable buggy, surviving Bozak’s trials, and slaughtering zombies with exclusive weapons and outfits. Rove an infected world where only the strongest will make it. Master your combat skills to fight monsters of all kinds, both human and the undead. Parkour through the roofs, craft weapons, and help other survivors while you’re confronting your own nightmares! Of course, the game wasn’t without its issues at its initial launch, specifically some performance issues. So, how does it fair on Nintendo Switch? A console that isn’t known for the power found in PlayStation and Xbox. Well, it holds up pretty well. In fact, the game performs exceptionally well, making for a pretty solid port. I think we can all agree that Switch ports are a risky business, and in this case, it’s paid off. Looking at any surface and tapping ‘R’ will prompt Kyle to climb, and your mobility is often your most important asset to getting through in one piece. You can always fight the zombies, and there are often situations where you have no choice, but it’s made abundantly clear that this isn’t the most ideal option.
